I know you said you have already dried the buds, but just for shit's and gig's here's how I do it....I have a bunch of cardboard sheets I got from an apple crate; they have dents for the apples to sit in. I just lay my buds still on their stems in the dents and cover it with another piece of apple liner, then keep it in the closet away from the light. I turn the buds 1-2 times a day to make sure it dries evenly. Then I pop them into vaccu-seal jars to cure. It seems to work well....it takes 4-5 days for the buds to dry to crispy, which I think makes the curing process much easier. I have tried hanging my buds to dry but I live in a very dry climate and they will be crispy after a day, not good! Just finished curing my last crop for about a week after they had dried and they taste and smell wonderful! Good luck with your future crops, just keep in mind that the longer it takes, the better your smoke will be in the end!
Oh yeah, and plastic pencil cases are good for pencils, but try keeping your bud in there for a few days and you will see why it isn't good for weed. Talk about drying your weed out! More like making bud dust when you try to pack a bowl!
